A little HELP fellas! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I am looking at replacing the: front fender, rocker panels/door panel floor pans; LMC Truck priced them at: Front fender: $220, each side; rocker panels/Door panels: $40 each side; Floor pans: $30 each side
Wanted to know if these were good deals or if there are any other deps., websites or stores to order them from for cheaper?

Thanks Fellas!

try and check out Truck and Car shop, prices are a tad cheaper than LMC for those parts

Personally I wouldn't buy squat from them, horrible customer service. They burned me on a core and messed up other things. I get all my stuff from Gmc Pauls

Just a little heads up, don't expect anything to fit. All a/m (China ) parts need a little massaging to work. I put a rocker and cab corners on mine and they were junk. I have seen the floor pans and they're about half the guage thickness of the stock floor pan. I'm not sure how the fenders and door panels will be but beware. You would think with all the people on this board, you could get more opinions of the aftermarket sheet metal. Sombody's had to have used them. I started a thread asking of the quality of rear fenders and I got one reply (thanks Mike). In my opinion, if a panel is at all repairable, try to save it. Good luck and I hope I haven't discouraged you, just giving you an honest opinion.

I Would check the board, several board vendors can help you with what fits better, and which has the best quality replacement parts...

Click the link in my sig and scroll down to the red names for board supporting vendors. Can't hurt to check them out.

I do have to agree that LMC is not the most impressive. I've not done anything with returning a core yet, but they have been good on my shipments so far. The only place I found around the prices you gave is bowtiebits.com $225 for a front fender, $39 for the rocker, and $22 for the floor pans. I've not had a problem with these guys either, I screwed up when I first ordered my wiring harnesses from them and they exchanged them even though they weren't supposed to. Don't forget you get what you pay for.

Thanks for all the help guys, now it will be time to weigh my odds....

I'm thinking of trying U.S. Body source to replace my front fenders. If you check their site, they also have metal repo body parts. The shipping seems to be the biggest difference in price factors. http://www.usbody.com/

I've ordered thru LMC, americanclassic.com, and I've ordered parts thru Chevy duty. LMC is reasonable on a lot of parts but chevy duty has been a better distributor to me I get the parts faster and they've got a great customer service dept.

Preacher · 10-14-2007, 12:47 AM

I agree with you, onebad65. Chevy Duty has been good to me also and I have gotten fenders from them, good quality. If your in need of wiring, Ron Francis Wire works is awesome. All kinds of options from them at no real extra cost. I completely rewired my truck in a weekend. These wiring kits are for idiots, you can't mess up! Wire works is in Chester, PA on the outskirts of Philly.
